Good thing I'm protestant

The other villain of the pope's piece is technology, or those in thrall to it, who disregard responsibilities and ethics for the gods of consumerism and profit.

"Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things."

pretty sure the catholic church's stance on greed is pretty cut and dry...

Right. I agree that greed is evil but not everyone trying to earn a profit is driven by greed if so all capitalism is inherently evil and we know that the Bible condones capitalism. Creating war is evil. Profiting off war through the sale of arms is not evil in and of itself. Capitalism exists such that people can make a profit.
